[Radiation TherapisTs Radiographer (RTTs) and risk management in radiotherapy: An international survey].

PURPOSE: In order to study the role perception and the effective involvement of Radiation TherapisTs (RTTs) in risk management in radiotherapy, a survey was developed and distributed in five countries (France, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands).

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

The article presents the results of this survey and the comparison between the different countries.

RESULTS

Overall, the results of the survey show a good involvement and perception of the RTTs around the risk management approach, although training in this area has yet to be systematized.

CONCLUSION

Although with differences in the results between the participating countries, the survey seems to highlight the deployment of preventive actions that are evaluated as not very effective by the respondents and by the international scientific literature.
